44 - Ancient Covenant Step 9 - Name Exchange

The NINTH step in ancient covenants which were practiced in Abram’s time was a NAME exchange. Each covenant partner would give PART of his name to the other person. That part would be ADDED to your original name, giving you a new COMPLETE name. The Hebrew name for God is YAH-WEH. God took the “AH” from His name and added it to Abram--he became AbrAHam. From then on, God is called, “The God of Abraham.” When you take on Christ, you also take on His name: CHRISTian, and Jesus took on our name: the Son of Man. Fascinating story you will enjoy!
